1 MemorialHonorsFallen BicyclistsSee Page 6 News in BriefMountain Lion Successfully Crosses 101 The mountain lion known as P-65 successfully crossed the 101 Freeway August 21 at Liberty Canyon. The female cougar crossed the 10-lane freeway north into the Simi Hills. P-65 is only the second female with a GPS collar to do so. Traditionally males are more likely to cross over or under freeways as they are more territorial and require a larger home range. Her crossing validates both sides of the argument that a $60 million wildlife bridge is needed at Liberty Canyon. Bridge advocates say that the overpass is needed to give mountain lions greater access to open space on either side. Opponents argue that another successful crossing without a bridge negates the needs.

2 Operation Demetra Nabs ArtStolen from West Valley HomesIt s a tale that sounds straight out of a Hollywood film. Decades after a massive art heist in the early 90 s pilfered hundreds of pieces of valuable art, the long lost collection has surprisingly resurfaced after one of the suspected thieves recently passed and their heir attempted to sell the purloined goods. While the burglars were arrested for their crime decades ago, the art was never now. The thefts occurred from homes in the west San Fernando Valley as well as the Hollywood Hills almost three decades ago. When some of the artifacts resurfaced at an art dealer recently, who suspected the items were stolen, a new case was opened dubbed Operation Demetra.

3 The same detectives that investigated the original burglaries were brought back to this case in an attempt to hunt down the various pieces of missing art. Investigators are working to identify the pieces, their current worth and their rightful are asking people who believe that some of the pieces might be rightfully theirs to come forward with proof of rightful ownership. All of the items, including Picassos, a Rembrandt and artifacts from famous figures, can be viewed at under Operation Demetra. Carbs for a Cause!

5 If the body does not cool properly, there is potential for heat-related illness. Heat-related illness can take different forms, ranging from general fatigue to muscular cramping to life-threatening heat stroke.
